Ponte Hub Alameda Salgueiro Maia - Santo António dos Cavaleiros

Aware of the needs of the local population and convinced of the power of the community, we started a 150m2 coworking space in 2016.

We had the endless support of the Californian association Friends of Portugal. In recent years, we’ve grown to manage more than 1600m2 and have brought together more than 60 companies in our space, in areas ranging from 3D Design and Artificial Intelligence to Accounting and Health.

Over the years, we have supported the creation of countless companies and social innovation initiatives, seeking to foster a rich and diverse ecosystem.

Initially on a one-off basis, but always with the aim of consolidating the area of training. We’ve held conferences, ideas competitions, bootcamps, workshops and much more in collaboration with various partners.

With a solid team and investors who trusted in our work, we launched our annual impact acceleration program and consolidated the Ponte incubator, which is open to all businesses.

It has already launched several editions and today we work across sectors, experimenting with models, building bridges (pontes) and creating new solutions.

We continue to believe in the opportunities ahead of us to do more and better, convinced that together we can build a better world.

We are moving towards this goal, one entrepreneur, one business and project at a time.
